Rebecca Adlington broke down in tears as she spoke out about the devastating toll having two miscarriages had on her mental health.

The Olympian swimmer, 35, lost her daughter Harper in a devastating late miscarriage in October 2023 – after she lost another child at 12 weeks in 2022.

Rebecca shares son Albie, three, with husband Andy Parsons as well as daughter Summer, eight, from her previous marriage to swimmer Harry Needs.

The athlete spoke openly about her shock of having two miscarriages after having two low-risk pregnancies. 

After Albie’s birth, Rebecca fell pregnant around a year later and found out at her 12 week scan she had suffered a miscarriage.
